Boy, talk about losing sight of the important things in life. I thought Kate Gosselin was history -- a cancelled has-been relegated to the junk heap of reality TV "stars" -- used, abused, exploited and trashed out by the TV industry after all the ad-dollar toothpaste was squeezed out of the the tube.

But no, I was wrong, and Kate Gosselin is starting what TLC describes as another season tonight at 9.

But she is starting it amid rumors of cancellation -- what a way to fly.

Check out the way this intreview with "Today" show host Ann Curry opens on a question about being cancelled.

Give Gosselin this: She might be the post-modern symbol of the end of the TV mom as an object of admiration, but she does soldier on in the world in junk TV. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
